8. Britney Spears
Occupation: Singer
We’ve got this picture up at the office to remind us it only gets better. Spears started off as an innocent Mouseketeer of The Mickey Mouse Club and was already flirting with naughtiness in the video for her first single, “Baby One More Time.” She married the persona of childhood innocence and adult sex appeal by maintaining that she’d remain a virgin until marriage, while posing in a bra and short shorts on Rolling Stone.
However, things quickly spiraled out of control. Spears had a drunken Vegas wedding and an annulment 55 hours later, married (and eventually divorced) a back-up dancer, K-Fed, after three months, and infamously spent one night in drug rehabilitation, before shaving her hair off the following evening.
Recently, Spears has quit being a judge on the X Factor because they wanted to fire her for being too normal. We’re proud of you, Britney.

#2 Britney Spears.
Britney Spears took a whopping percentage of the votes in this poll, clearly establishing the pop starlet as your favorite female dancer. The music video for the 2001 hit “I’m A Slave 4 U” is prime Britney, with the singer deliberately subverting her still-girlish appearance with overt, unapologetic sexuality.

Britney Spears, 31 years young and re-established as a household name after a few tumultuous years, has been named Forbes’ highest-paid woman in music of the past year, earning $58 million.
Spears’ platinum-selling album Femme Fatale and its accompanying tour were the main sources behind the pop star’s stratospheric ledger, with a fragrance deal and assorted endorsements rounding out the figures.
Close behind was Taylor Swift, who earned her $57 million in much the same way as Spears: with a huge record. Speak Now, Swift’s quadruple-platinum-certified album from 2010 generated $1 million per night on a tour which set sail through North America in early 2011.
Rounding out the top three is Rihanna at $53 million, whose endorsement deals with Vita Coco and Nivea as well as the enduring hit “Diamonds” contributed to her still-storming success.
Two surprises crop up: the sultry chanteuse Sade’s placement ahead of Madonna at #8 (the Queen of Pop hadn’t yet embarked on her worldwide MDNA tour, something likely to boost her standing next year). As well, Adele’s relatively modest placement at #7 on the list, despite her historic, ten-times-platinum certified album 21.
Jennifer Lopez’s classification as a “Personality” precluded her inclusion in the women in music list, whose earnings of $52 million would have tied her with Lady Gaga at #4.
The Forbes list measures gross income from all sources, not adjusted for managements fees or taxes (and so is not representative of the bottom line of a particular star’s bank account) between May 2011 to May 2012. Forbes’ date range doesn’t include Spears’ lucrative contract with “The X Factor” (reportedly for $15 million), nor a particularly high-profile year for Rihanna.
Here’s the full list:
1. Britney Spears ($58 million)
2. Taylor Swift ($57 million)
3. Rihanna ($53 million)
4. Lady Gaga ($52 million)
5. Katy Perry ($45 million)
6. Beyoncé ($40 million)
7. Adele ($35 million)
8. Sade ($33 million)
9. Madonna ($30 million)
10. Shakira ($20 million)

Somewhere, coy reality star Kim Kardashian is petting her fur kitten Mercy, blessing the Internet Gods who yielded her the most-searched celebrity for the second year in a row, according to Yahoo!’s latest report.
But the fame-seeking Kardashian is only making up for lost time. Turns out, one person has clearly dominated the top-searched lists for the past decade or so: Britney Spears. She’s topped the lists for a whopping seven of the 12 years. That makes her the most-searched celebrity since basically the inception of the internet (or something *head-flip*).
2001
Britney Spears. Brit followed up her stunning 2000 breakout performance at the MTV VMAs with writhing live snakes and a jungle-inspired rendition of “Slave 4 U.” Obviously.
2002
Britney Spears. Yep, it’s still Britney, b*tch.
2003
Britney Spears. Britney’s on-stage kiss with Madonna during a performance of “Like A Virgin” at the MTV VMAs must have driven people to their computers for replays.
2005
Britney Spears. Spears spent much of 2005 pregnant with her first child, Sean Preston Federline. He was born September 14, 2005.
2006
Britney Spears. People just loved typing in “Britney Spears” into Yahoo! search boxes, huh?
2007
Britney Spears. A public meltdown, head-shaving incident and disastrous VMA performance added to the lurid spectacle of Brit Brit.
2008
Britney Spears. America’s reigning pop princess continued to fascinate audiences eight years after first being crowned “Most-Searched Celebrity” on the search-engine site.

Happy birthday, Billboard’s Nielsen BDS-based Pop Songs chart! Two decades in, the ranking continues to track the trends at, and reveal the realities of, U.S. mainstream top 40 pop radio.
The week of Oct. 3, 1992, Billboard premiered the Pop Songs radio airplay chart, as then-new Nielsen BDS-based monitoring technology allowed for unprecedented accuracy in gauging the biggest hits on mainstream top 40 radio.
The chart’s 20th anniversary – it launched the week of Oct. 3, 1992 – also coincides with an unprecedented pure pop boom, as mainstream top 40 radio is playing more pure pop than ever before. And, as station ratings soar, such a focus on the format’s musical middle ground is reinforcing that the format works best when deemphasizing such extremes as rock and rap.
A year-by-year analysis of Billboard’s Pop Songs chart reveals that pure pop – i.e., melodic, often synth-driven, uptempo fare from the likes of Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry – has made up at least 60% of the survey’s total top 10 hits each year from 2008 through 2012 (from January through July annually). Last year, the style accounted for a whopping 79% of the list’s top 10s – the highest percentage in the chart’s history – as 30 of the 38 top 10s during that period fit a pop classification.
Twenty years later, we’re celebrating the anniversary by counting down the top 40 artists on the Pop Songs chart over the past two decades. We’re also mixing in memories from those working in the format, on both the radio and records sides.
1. Rihanna
2. Pink
3. Britney Spears
4. Kelly Clarkson
5. Mariah Carey
6. Katy Perry
7. Usher
8. Black Eyed Peas
9. Janet Jackson
10. Madonna

This is pretty amazing for someone who was blacklisted from the radio for several years.

#2 – Britney Spears: $58 million
Conspicuously absent from our 2011 Celebrity list due to limited touring, Britney blasts back to the top this year with over 75 shows in the past 12 months. She also earns millions from endorsements and a fragrance line with Elizabeth Arden. Her latest album, Femme Fatale, earned platinum certification in the U.S. Television and music were the best ways for women to make our highest-paid list this year and Spears works in both mediums. As the newest judge on The X Factor, Spears is earning praise for her tough criticism of early contestants. The 30-year-old pop star signed on to The X Factor for an estimated $15 million after our time frame for this list, so the $58 million she brought in is mostly from touring and album sales.

7. Britney Spears-Here’s a few things Britney accomplished this year. She got engaged. She was the first artist, in general, to accomplish a large following on new social network, Google +. She released Twister Dance. And the biggest of them all, she is the new judge on The X-Factor. Yay, Britney!
